What’s New?

Erika Penz, COPD Assembly Co-Chair

Raymond Aceron, COPD Assembly Co-Chair
Welcome to the COPD assembly. One of the greatest aspects of the assembly structure is the opportunities for members to get involved! Our assembly has responsibilities for overseeing projects, for leading meetings to develop guidelines and statements for evidence-based research and clinical practice, for developing educational materials, for mentoring junior professionals, networking, and for advocacy. We encourage you to reach out and volunteer your time and talents to help advance our assembly priorities by joining our webinars, journal clubs, and annual meetings as well as working on projects listed under workplan priorities.
Sincerely,
Raymond and Erika
